GOP healthcare bill advances in House without ACA subsidies

by

The House advanced a GOP health care bill Wednesday, even as moderate Republicans signed a Democratic discharge petition to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies in an act of defiance against leadership.

The vote was 213-209. Rep. Jen Kiggans (Va.) was the only Republican to vote no.

The GOP package would not address the expiring ObamaCare subsidies. Rather, it would appropriate funds to pay for cost-sharing reductions in ObamaCare, a complicated move that would lower premiums for some people but decrease the overall number of subsidies and make premiums more expensive for others.
